Other: Due to the large number of applications for admission and the competitive nature of its music programs, the College admits only a portion of its applicants. In addition to the general admissions credentials required of all Temple University graduate applicants, specialized admission criteria (i.e., auditions, portfolios, interviews, recommendations, departmental term papers, and standardized examinations) are very heavily weighted in admission decisions of the Boyer College of Music and Dance. Graduate applicants may be rejected for admission for failing to obtain the required level of proficiency in any one area of the specialized admission criteria regardless of the level of success in meeting the Temple University general admission criteria. In addition to the level of success demonstrated in the above-mentioned criteria, a final admission factor is the College's Optimum Enrollment Policy. This Policy may preclude the admission of any student who meets the minimum requirements.

Performance: All bowed string pedagogy majors at the master's degree level must perform in the university orchestra each term they receive lessons. Additional Requirements: Diagnostic Entrance Examinations: All entering Master of Music students are required to take Diagnostic Examinations in Harmony, Counterpoint, Aural Skills, and Music History prior to the first term of graduate study. The purpose of these examinations is to ascertain adequate preparation for graduate study in these areas. Examinations in Harmony, Counterpoint, and Aural Skills may be taken once. The examination in Music History may be taken a second time. Students who are unable to take the examinations at the designated time may do so using the online proctoring service, Examity (https://examity.com). Students are responsible for all fees. Students who opt not to take any or all exams prior to the first semester of study are required to complete remedial coursework within the first academic year. Depending on the examination results, students may be required to take one or more remedial courses. Remedial courses are graded on a "Credit / No Credit" basis, and the official university transcript will indicate "CR" (for "Credit," meaning that the deficiency has been satisfied) or "NC" (for "No Credit," meaning that the deficiency has not been satisfied). Students must have a "B-" or better average in any remedial course or section to earn the grade of "Credit" and to satisfy the requirement. Students who earn a grade of "NC" (that is, having a class average below "B-") must retake that course or section until an average of "B-" or higher is achieved and a grade of "CR" is recorded on the official university transcript. Remedial courses do not count toward graduate degree requirements.
String Pedagogy, M.M. 3 It is highly recommended that students complete all remediation coursework during their first academic year of study. An exception may be granted for part-time students. Master of Music students may neither schedule graduation recitals nor take final comprehensive master's examinations until all of the diagnostic examinations and any required remediation have been successfully completed. A. Diagnostic Examinations in Music Theory, including Harmony, Counterpoint, and Aural Skills Students may take each portion of the theory test only once. Any section not graded as passing necessitates enrollment in a remedial course(s) during the first term of study. Examiners stipulate which section(s) of remedial coursework are required. Theory remedial courses include: Code Title Credit Hours MUST 5001 Diatonic Harm. Review 1 MUST 5002 Chromatic Harm. Review 1 MUST 5003 Counterpoint Review 1 MUST 5004 Grad Aural Theory Review 3 B. Diagnostic Examination in Music History Students may take each of the five sections of the history test twice. After the second attempt, any section not graded as passing necessitates enrollment in a remedial course(s). Examiners stipulate which section(s) of remedial coursework are required. The History remedial course is MUST 5005 Remedial Studies in Music History. Each of five sections are enrolled in for one credit and are subtitled according to the period covered in the coursework: Baroque, Classic, Medieval/Renaissance, Romantic, and Twentieth Century. Remediation can be extended over two terms. C. Conditions for Exemption from Diagnostic Examinations The requirement to take the Diagnostic Examination in any area is waived only for graduates of the Boyer College of Music and Dance who: matriculate and enroll in the term immediately following completion of all undergraduate degree requirements; and received grades of "B-" or better in every undergraduate course taken in each individual examination area to be waived. Professional Development Policy: In addition to taking the required subjects for their degrees, all students in the Boyer College of Music and Dance are obligated to serve in a number of capacities in order to enrich their academic and musical expertise. Boyer College of Music and Dance believes that such experiences give impetus to successful professional careers. Among the duties that may be required are conducting laboratory classes; tutoring; teaching private lessons; coaching; participating in the distribution and inventory control of Temple University-owned musical instruments and instructional materials; participating in ensembles; accompanying; performing at admissions and open house events; supervising performance classes; and engaging in other academic activities. Performing Ensembles: 1. Touring: All students in touring performing ensembles are required to participate in all scheduled tours. These tours, usually one or two weeks in length, often take place immediately after termination of terms. Students must arrange their schedules to accommodate this requirement. 2. Participation: Master's degree candidates in wind, brass, and percussion instruments must be available for ensemble assignments at the discretion of the department chair, including participation beyond curricular requirements. 3. Non-Credit Participation: With special permission, graduate students for whom there is no ensemble requirement, or where previous ensemble credits exceed the graduation requirement, may participate in choral and instrumental ensembles without cost, with prior permission from the ensemble director, the department chair, and the Associate Dean. Independent Study Courses: Independent study courses provide a special opportunity for graduate students to work in a highly individualized setting with one or more faculty members. All such study must receive the approval of the faculty member providing the instruction, the students' major advisor, and the Associate Dean. Approval will be granted only after the student has presented a detailed description of the intended independent study project. Approval of independent study projects will be granted only for students whose academic and musical record provides substantial support for the benefits of this type of study. In no case may more than 20% of a graduate student's curriculum be taken as independent study. Private lessons beyond those required in the curriculum are not an appropriate form of independent study. Acceptable English: All students, including those for whom English is not the native language, are expected to present all written work in acceptable English. No double standard exists to differentiate students on the basis of proficiency in the use of the English language. Students are also responsible for becoming familiar with the College's statement on plagiarism and academic honesty. Graduate Private Lesson Policy:
4 String Pedagogy, M.M. Weekly one-hour private lessons are provided for all matriculated master's and doctoral performance majors in good standing, provided at least three additional credits of programmatically required graduate-level study are taken simultaneously.

Incompletes: All incomplete grades and keyboard proficiencies must be fulfilled by the first day of the month in which the student expects to graduate.
